Institutional Control Record Established

In accordance with 18 AAC 75.350, ADEC has determined that the unconfined groundwater (above the Bootlegger Cove Formation) at the Anchorage International Airport (AIA) is not a current or future drinking water source. This determination is subject to the following conditions: 1. It applies only within the Airside and Commercial RMZ’s, as described in the Airport-Wide Remediation Management Plan. It does not apply within the Ecological RMZ. 2. It does not establish alternative cleanup levels within those zones but allows ADEC to use the determination in making decisions in accordance with 18 AAC 75.345(b)(2) - (3). 3. Any drinking water wells located on AIA property must be properly abandoned in accordance with ADEC decommissioning procedures within two years of this decision. 4. AIA shall prohibit the installation of any water wells, used for drinking, cooling, washdown, or any other purposes, on the AIA either through 17 AAC 42.410 (b) (27) of the airport leasing regulations or in their individual lease agreement documents. 5. The existing AIA water well used to maintain the water level in Lake Hood is not considered a drinking water well. However, AIA is responsible for determining its wellhead protection area and ensuring that it maintains levels at or below 18 AAC 75.345 Table C values, unless otherwise approved by ADEC. March 19, 2007 Amendment: DEC has determined that the shallow groundwater along the Lake Hood shoreline is not a current or future drinking water source in accordance with 18 AAC 75.350. Therefore, the March 2001 groundwater use determination is amended to include the shallow groundwater in the Ecological RMZ in that determination.

Update or Other Action

DEC staff reviewed a field summary report for Remote Overnight Parking (RON) 7-11. RON 7-11 area is located roughly 1,000 feet west of Concourse C terminal. Contaminated soil was identified and left in place (along the former fuel line alignment located near the Left 300 foot offset). Approximately 525 cubic yards of contaminated soil was transported to ANC's landfarm area to be treated.

Update or Other Action

DEC staff issued a letter on August 26th requesting that ASIG hire a qualified person to construct a conceptual site model for the South Terminal, Anchorage International Airport.

Conceptual Site Model Submitted

In response to the 8/26/08 request for a conceptual site model (CSM) by ADEC, ASIG/AFSC's consultant, Shannon & Wilson, completed and submitted an environmental document review and CSM dated October 14, 2010. The CSM identified potential for incidental soil ingestion pathway by construction workers if the soil is disturbed. Also the outdoor air pathway could be possible because contamination exists within 15 bgs, if the asphalt/concrete were removed. All other pathways are considered incomplete.
